Water Clover
Marsilea quadrifolia
Water clover (Marsilea quadrifolia), rau bợ in Vietnamese, is not a clover at all but a small aquatic fern. A slender rhizome creeps through wet ground at the edges of ponds and marshes and in damp paddy fields, sending up paired long-stalked leaves, each a cross of four leaflets that fold down at nightfall; a tuft of roots rises from the base of each pair, and very small spore cases sit at the foot of the stalk. It grows wild across Vietnam, is gathered whole and used fresh more often than dried, and in places is eaten raw as a leaf vegetable.
